Hi, just a few quick comments to your proposal. > regarding hierarchical authorization of route objects in the > RIPE database: from what I have heard there is a general > feeling that it is needed and the basic scheme to implement it > should follow the lines: You say very little about the reasons and motivations for wanting the modified behaviour. I think that is important to state. I've made some guesses below -- correct them as appropriate. > * The root of the authorization tree is an AS-object (aut-num > object). If it contains a "mnt-lower" attribute it controls > all route-objects which have this AS as origin. Aren't the route objects with a given origin already controlled by the authorization specified in the aut-num object? (Sorry, it's been a while since I twiddled "my" route objects, so I'm a bit rusty on this now.) If I'm in error here and this is modified behaviour, what would the motivation be for it? > * Then for route-objects the same rules apply as for > inetnum-objects with respect to IP subranges: If a > route-object contains a "mnt-lower" attribute it controls > all more specific route-objects immediately below. The motivation seems to be to have the option of controlling the use of the given address space covered, e.g. to require intervention by the maintainer/"owner" of the address space should a customer want to leave and take the address space within this address block with him, or to prevent such a move. (?) Other than that I think your suggestions make sense. - Håvard
